We focus on the conventional panel data models with one-way error component structure, partially linear panel data models, varying coe¢ cient panel data models, nonparametric panel data models with multi-factor error structure, and nonseparable nonparametric panel data models. F...

Panel estimation only reduces the correlation’s estimate by about 0.12. Octobe...
